Formula used

Millilitres = US fluid ounces × 29.5735295625. Cups = millilitres ÷ millilitres per cup. Litres = millilitres ÷ 1,000. Planning cups = cups × (1 + allowance percent ÷ 100).

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

US fluid ounces
16 fl oz
Enter the liquid-volume amount in US fluid ounces. This is volume, not weight ounces.
Cup basis
236.5882365 mL per cup
Use 236.5882365 for US customary cups, 240 for US legal cups or 250 for metric cups.
Optional planning allowance
0 %
Use only for batching, spillage, headspace or ordering. It does not change the exact conversion.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Best for liquid-volume recipe conversions, measuring-cup checks, refill notes, batching worksheets and classroom records. Use weight units for dry ingredients.

  • The input is US fluid ounces, a liquid-volume unit, not avoirdupois weight ounces.
  • The default cup basis is the US customary cup of 236.5882365 millilitres, where 1 cup equals 8 US fluid ounces.
  • US legal cups at 240 mL and metric cups at 250 mL are valid in some records, so the chosen cup basis is editable and printed.
  • The optional allowance is a practical planning addition and is shown separately from the measured fluid-ounce-to-cup conversion.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: write “US fl oz” and the cup basis on any recipe or batch note. Fluid ounces are volume, ounces can also mean weight, and “cup” changes size between common kitchen and labelling systems.

Visual grid

This result measures part of the space you live in

Length, area, volume and material estimates are grid problems too: measure the space, account for edges and allowances, then turn the pattern into a number you can use.

Space calculations turn a real surface, room, run or volume into cells, edges and allowances that can be quoted, ordered or checked.

Method

Millilitres = US fluid ounces × 29.5735295625. Cups = millilitres ÷ millilitres per cup. Litres = millilitres ÷ 1,000. Planning cups = cups × (1 + allowance percent ÷ 100).

  1. For 16 US fl oz, millilitres = 16 × 29.5735295625 = 473.176 mL. On the US customary cup basis, cups = 473.176 ÷ 236.5882365 = 2 cups. On a 250 mL metric-cup basis, the same volume is about 1.893 cups.

Assumptions

  • The input is US fluid ounces, a liquid-volume unit, not avoirdupois weight ounces.
  • The default cup basis is the US customary cup of 236.5882365 millilitres, where 1 cup equals 8 US fluid ounces.
  • US legal cups at 240 mL and metric cups at 250 mL are valid in some records, so the chosen cup basis is editable and printed.
  • The optional allowance is a practical planning addition and is shown separately from the measured fluid-ounce-to-cup conversion.
